“In and out appointment. Explained my coverage and gave me options based on my insurance. Friendly staff would highly recommend! ”
Bradd W.April 2, 2026
“Friendly and informed staff, walked me through my insurance coverage. Dr. Meltzer was informative and warm, the combination in a medical specialist is few and far between. Good to know there are still doctors with a human touch in NY.”

Great experience. Friendly staff and doctor. I showed up a few minutes early and we hit the ground running. Would visit again as needed. Very convenient.

I saw a different provider than the one I booked with no communication about this change. The provider I saw was not able to answer my safety concerns about a medication I was prescribed. Office was disorganized - misspelled my name, forgot to give me back my insurance card, wasn’t able to send in my prescription to pharmacy

I had a great experience in the office itself-friendly, attentive staff, Dr. Meltzer had a good bedside manner. I received entirely too many emails leading up to the appointment, mostly from Zocdoc-at least one per day for over a week before my appointment. This was ridiculous, but I imagine completely out of the control of Grand Central Optical.

Great and thorough appointment.
More than 1 year agoDiane I.Verified patient
The exam was thorough and I was seen immediately. However, Dr. Meltzer appeared annoyed by my questions and only answered them after continued prompting. If you’re the kind of person that just wants a routine eye exam and doesn’t care to ask questions then this office is fine. If you care to have a comprehensive understanding of your results then I would advise you go elsewhere. I insisted on asking for a printout of my results, which I subsequently ran through ChatGPT.

Doctor was super understanding and helpful. She even explained why my previous prescription was a bad fit, drew pictures and everything!

The doctor is straight to the point and efficient. Not the friendliest or chattiest, but fine. I also did not understand prior to my appointment that I have to pay separately for a contacts exam. I felt slightly rushed, I didn’t get much detail on types of contacts I could choose. Overall it was fine and a quick appointment.

Appreciate how efficient and helpful this office is. Dr. Meltzer was great, will definitely be going back to her for future eye appointments.
March 14, 2024Angelia M.Verified patient
What a comfortable experience Dr. Meltzer provided! She had me laughing through the whole exam, smiling while doing all the tests, and listening intently as she explained all of the results. Truly couldn’t give a higher recommendation, she’s the real deal! Don’t walk, run to her! An expert and a scholar, with a side of professionalism to boot. Thanks Doc!
March 7, 2024Jonathan F.Verified patient
Dr. Meltzer is truly the best. She helped me find a new brand of contacts that worked best for me and explained everything thoroughly and clearly. She loves what she does and it really shows in her work! Best doctor ever.

Dr. Erica Meltzer is the best OD I’ve ever been to! She is professional, knowledgeable, and makes for a great experience while getting your eyes examined. Plus she knows exactly what glasses or sunglasses look great on your face! I look forward to my appointments with her. Highly recommend!
